Title: EVEREST - Berkshire to Australia
Post by: Pointer on Monday 12 April 10 16:36 BST (UK)

Harry Everest b 1863 Berkshire believed to have sailed for Sydney in January 1891. A younger brother Walter b 1864 may have joined him in 1892. No details of either one since then. Any descendants out there?
